All devices on the Web are recognized by a special number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. If you have a site, the domain name that you enter to open it is for your convenience, but the server where your site files are still has an IP. As there are a lot more websites and devices than there're IP addresses, all shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, while when you use a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may get improved search engine rankings as a dedicated IP often means a faster loading website. In addition, you need such an IP if you would like to purchase an SSL certificate for your site and shield the info that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Web Hosting
If you use some of our cloud web hosting plans, you can add a dedicated IP to your account without any difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you have selected for the account throughout the signup process, thus it's possible to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for example, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP since you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain independently through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL through us, you will be able to use our auto-configuration instrument, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you wish to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you buy a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will have the option to get as many dedicated IPs as you need depending on your business needs. It takes a few clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to buy a new IP and a few more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is very easy and your site will start loading from the new IP address very quickly. Hepsia will allow you to view all the IP addresses which you are able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. If you want to use an SSL certificate on some of your websites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, which can assign a new IP and install the certificate the moment you send your order, so you won't have to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting
Our VPS hosting feature one dedicated IP address by default and if you pick a website hosting Control Panel (DirectAdmin, cPanel, Hepsia) during the registration process, you will acquire a second one as well free of cost. You can employ them the way you like - to access site content, to manage a web app, to set up an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any domain that you have and use the latter for any other website that you intend to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you'll be able to take care of all plan renewals, upgrades and domain registrations will allow you to order extra dedicated IPs when you need them for any purpose. A couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you will be able to use them immediately.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
In case you obtain a dedicated server, you probably want to run some web application or host numerous sites, so we provide three dedicated IPs free of charge with each and every plan and you can use them as you decide - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you have registered here or through another company. The aforementioned option is very useful in case you use the dedicated server to host users' Internet sites considering that it will give you credibility and anonymity as a hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add extra IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, so you can go ahead and use the brand new dedicated IPs just a few minutes after you send your order.
